Among the games enacted at some OF
the Saxon peasant weddings there is one
which deserves 10 be mentioned, Afford
ing as il does curious proof Of the ten
acity of old pagan rites and customs,
transmitted by verbal tradition from one
generation To the other. This is the Ros-
sci Tanz, or dance of the horses, evidently
founded ON an ancient Scandinavian le-
gend 10 liz found in Snorri's "Edda. In
this tale the gods Thor and Loki came to
a peasant house in carriage drawn by
two goats or rams, and asked for nights
lodging. Thor killed the two rams, and
with the peasant and his family consumed
their flesh for supper. The bones were
then ordered TO be thrown in heap on
to the hides of the animals; but one Of the
peasants sons had in eating broken open
a bone in order 10 get at the marrow
within, and next morning when the god
commanded the goats to get up, one Of
them limped on the hind leg, because of
the broken bone.
At first Thor was in great rage, and
threatened to destroy the whole family,
but finally allowed himself TO he pacilied,
and accepted the two sons rs hostages.
In the peasant drama we have now be-
fore us the gods Thor and Loki are re
placed by a colonel and lieutenant col
onel, and instead of two goats there are
two horses and one goat; also the two
sons of the peasants are here designated
as Wallachians. Everything is, of course,
much distorted and changed, but still all
the principal features of the drama,
which space forbids me here to enlarge
upon, are clearly recognizable. The kill
ing of the goat and its subsequent resur-
rection. the rage Of the colonel, and the
transfcrmcut Of the two Wallachians into
his service hing all parts of the perform

Dr. Care. Of Basle, has suggested that
the characters of people might lie well
diagnosed by their old shoes Take
shoe which has been worn for n couple
Of months; If the sole and heel are equally
worn, il belongs TO an energetic man Of
business, a trustworthy officer, an exem-
plary wife, an excellent mother: if the
outer edge only is only worn, the owner
is Of fantastic, adventurous tendency, a
rash and bold temper; If il is the inner
edge which is worn, the fact indicates
irresolutiOn and weakness in man,
modesty in a woman. Such at least is
the bold generalization Of Dr. Cares
shoemaker whose own Shoes one sus-
poets must he worn on the outside, and
who also states that where the wearer

rasps the point of his shoes and leaves

According TO the code of Ahelard the
convent was divided into six functions,
all alike subject to the direction of the

for the convent treasury; she kept the
KEYS, and had the care Of the church
plate and sacred vessels; and IL was her
duty To set the virgin sisters TO prepare
the waters for the host, which must not

taught singing and reading, had care of
the choir and of the library, to which
she was expected to add by copying and
Illuminating manuscripts. The head Of
the infirmary had charge of the sick.
Another sister was mistress of the
wardrobe and responsible not only for all
the spinning, weaving and sewing neces-
sary for the event, but also for the tam
ming and cobbling. The cellarer had in
her charge the wines for the altar and the
sick. the provisions Of the table and the
management of whatever the convent
possessed in orchards and garden land,
flock, and her,ls and hives, trout streams
and mills. Lastly. the doorkeeper, who
was especially chosen for courteous man
ners. Judgment and trustwOrthiness, was
responsible for the keeping of the gate,
the entertainment of guests and the dis
tribution Of hospitality.
Life in the convent was not hard, but

Linen Paper Versus Cotton Paper.

statement that two kinds of paper. dis
tinglIished rs cotton paper and linen, or,
as il is often called, rag paper. were in
common use in Europe from very early
period las gradually come TO he gener-
ally accepted as true by photographers
and antiluarians. Upon equally good
authority it is commonly believed that,
while cotton paper was introduced into
Europe by the Arabs in the Seventh or
Eighth century. linen Tor rag paper was
a European invention of much later date.
But the time and place Of the invention
Of linen paper. notwithstanding the long
and learned controversies of the last cent

conclusion concerning these points. In
